“Property development is a confidence game. I think if you're not confident, you're not going to do it. If you've got a good educator, you've got to pull the right team together that gives you the confidence to take action because it's all about action. But sadly, a lot of people get head knowledge, but they don't take action. And that's where they need, somebody to get them to take the action. Now, once you take the action, you can go forward."
